"Nung I can't do it." Tuk complained as she handed over the strands of rope to Ao'nung " what's wrong Tuk?" Ao'nung asked as he let go of the fish he was gutting , placing it on top of the rock he had in-front of him along with his other materials " I can't get this bracelet correct I keep messing up." Tuk ears flatten as a sad expression appeared on Tuks face "look Tuk , it's like this." Ao'nung spoke in a calm and soft voice. Making sure Tuk was listening to his instructions, he demonstrated her how to probably make the bracelet without messing up. He gave tuk the rope once again and told her to try it on her own this time , and she finally succeeded. Her eyes lit up in excitement "THANK YOU NUNG!" she yelled out as she hugged him, Ao'nung returned the hug as he let out a laugh at Tuks excitement.
Both Ao'nungs and Tuks ears shot up at the sound of Lo'aks voice behind them "So what Tsireya was saying is true huh?" Lo'ak chimed In , a grin on his face as Ao'nungs face went from a joyful to embarrassed face. "So you DO help Tuk make accessories." Lo'ak giggled as Ao'nungs face only turned a darker blue. "Ooooo busted!" Tuk giggled as she happily made her way to her big brother. Ao'nung cleared his throat , he picked up the fish he had been gutting and finished it then placed it to the side, Completely avoiding any sort of eye contact with Lo'ak who was now sat next to him watching what he was doing.
"Nung.. don't ignore mee.." Lo'ak pleaded, causing a chill to run down Ao'nungs spine "I-I'm not ignoring you Lo'ak." Ao'nung stuttered out as he felt Lo'aks hands wrap around his arm "good." Lo'ak simply smiled as he laid his head against Ao'nungs shoulder.
Ao'nungs heart was pounding in his chest , why did he feel so nervous? It's not like he wasn't used to this , Lo'ak had done this multiple times before but why did it just now make him nervous? "Nung I'm hungry." Tuk Whined "go find Neteyam and Rey, they'll probably have fruit for you to eat." Ao'nung said as he pointed to where he had last seen Teyam and Rey "oh ok, see ya!" Tuk happily skipped away as she went to find her big brother.
After a while Ao'nung had finished gutting all the fish he had been assigned "Lo'ak, get up please." Ao'nung softly requested, only to be met by a groan from lo'ak "Please, I'll stay at your marui tonight if you let me go." Lo'ak immediately let go of Ao'nung "really?" Ao'nung let out a small laugh "I'm gonna take these to my father, you coming?" Ao'nung asked , Lo'ak stared at him before sighing and following Ao'nung.

"There I'm free for that rest of the day." Ao'nung seemed thoughtful for a minute before sighing "I need to let my Mother know I'll be staying with you tonight, you can go back and I'll meet up with you." Ao'nung offered , Lo'ak nodded and waved goodbye to Ao'nung as he happily made his way to his marui, Ao'nung also made his way to his own marui.
When he got there his mother and Tsireya were sitting together having a conversation, though Ao'nung didn't pay attention to what it was about. "Mother , I'll be staying the night with the Sullys." Ronal and Tsireya glanced at each other then back at Ao'nung "again? You so realize that this is the third time this week you go right?." Ronal questioned her son, Ao'nung gave his mother a slight nod "yeah , I'm aware." "Very well then , be safe." Ronal said to her son then turned back to her daughter "I will mother." Ao'nung Cheerfully said before making his way to the sullys.

Lo'ak had finally arrived to his marui , his mother and siblings were sitting together as Neytiri was re-braiding Tuk's hair , while Neteyam and Kiri were talking "finally arrived huh lil bro?" Neteyam teased as he greeted him "yeah yeah, hello mama." Lo'ak greeted Neytiri, she returned the greeting then continued to braid Tuks hair "surprised you didn't Ao'nung to come with you tonight." Kiri teased , a grin on her face "actu-" "I heard my name?" Lo'aks voice was cut off by the sound of Ao'nungs voice , Kiri bursted out laughing as Neteyam let out a disappointment sigh"I fucking knew it." Neteyam groaned out , Ao'nungs ears flatten in confusion as he walked into the marui while Lo'aks flatten in embarrassment , his cheeks turning a dark blue. "Hello Mrs.Sully." Ao'nung greeted with a smile "hello Ao'nung, staying here again I'm guessing?" She had a small but noticeable smile "yep." Ao'nung said as he sat down.
